Today would be my first coffee date without the video, sorry folks, just ain't happening today. but..... If we were having coffee together I'd tell you ..... I am just so thankful Addison's fever is gone.  Last evening a little before 5 all the sudden she started acting not like herself and had a low grade fever. I was nervous since we have a plane to get on tomorrow morning. I would hate the thought of her not being able to go. So prayer. But not just some random prayer. That peaceful God is in control prayer. And she has been fever free since last night around 8pm. God is good guys, like seriously!!! You need to go here ---> Beautiful & Beloved Boutique . My beautiful friend, Amber is using talent + that desire to be more than just live through the motions of life . This week I'm struggling. My workouts have been lame and my eating, well, let's just say I do not feel at my best. It's these times that I truly realize the imp...

I will not be doing a vlog this week.  I am a serious hot mess. Not my usual frumpy momma hot mess, but runny nose, sore throat, manly sounding hot mess. So I'm just going to do you a favor and forgo the vlog. If we were having coffee..... ~~I would most likely whine about said sickness~~ ~~I would probably ask you if you've listened to the song WORDS by Hawk Nelson and if you haven't you should...I'll even help, here it is, just listen to it! ~~ ~~I would probably update you on the foster care process:  We had step one of Home Study on Tuesday. What came out of that was A LOT of paperwork.  Next Tuesday starts individual questions. There are 12 questions that apparently take 4 hours. ummm.....~~ ~~We have received a lot of random encouragements from new friends, old friends, strangers on our journey to foster care. It has been lovely and so encouraging, because honestly there's so much negativity about it from ...
